Woman: Yes, we'll be taking her home to Santa Monica this afternoon! And we have already decided to call her "Kim!" Reporter: Mrs. Rosenthal, seeing how we have over 100,000 unadopted orphans in our own country, why did you choose to adopt a Vietnamese baby? Woman: We decided to adopt Kim because of the immediacy of her plight! It had nothing to do with her being Vietnamese! Of course, I won't deny the glamour of it all... Kim: Yes, let's not fool ourselves, gang-- I'm a class act!
Following from yesterday, some more details of both the attack and the later, inspirational, likfe of Kim Phuc are here:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8678478.stmThere is also a lot all over the net about the meeting with the US veteran who, at most, was involved in ordering the attack (which was actually carried out by a South Vietnamese pilot). However, the sources on this all seem so partial it is hard to know who to trust.
